Now is the time to insert the tennis ball into the body and continue knitting around the tennis ball to the end. This is a little awkward but there are only a few rounds left. The other option is to stuff the body with fiber fill at this time and continue stuffing until the last round. Stuff the body until it is firm.
With a yarn needle placed on the end from the cast on stitches, whipstitch the arms and legs to the body. Use the photo as a guide for placement. The arms are closer set than the legs so the arms will fall inside of the legs naturally. Pull ends to the inside.

sweet yarns for real life

Reattach the yarn in between the eyes leaving a 6 inch end on the outside of the head. Place the 12 stitches from the stitch holder or waste yarn onto 3 doublepointed needles (4 sts per needle). Repeat as for the first eye. Finish stuffing before pulling the end through the remaining stitches.

Place the end from the reattached yarn on a yarn needle and take a few stitches to close the gap in between the eyes. Pull the end to the inside and trim to stay inside.

Face:

Use the black embroidery floss and the yarn needle to stitch the face. For the upper lid of the eye take a straight stitch. In the middle of the stitch take another tiny straight stitch to pull the first stitch slightly upward. This makes a curved line. Make a French knot under the upper lid. Pull the ends to the inside and trim to stay inside. For the mouth take 4 straight stitches to create a smile. Pull the ends to the inside and trim. Use the photos as a guide.

    Hand-Knitted Heart Potholder Row 39-43 Sl1, K1, Psso, K to End of Row

    skill Project courtesy of 2 ® level free Lion Brand SUPPLIES & TOOLS: • 1 skein Lion Brand® cotton yarn • Knitting needles size 8 (5mm) • Stitch holder GAUGE: 12 sts x 22 rows (11 ridges) = 4" [10 cm] in garter stitch. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. NOTES: Potholder is worked with 3 strands of yarn held together throughout. To use one ball, re-roll yarn into three separate balls. (If you hare making more than one potholder, you may find it easier to use three balls of Lion Cotton and eliminate the need for re-rolling.) Two balls will make at least 3 potholders. DIRECTIONS: With three strands of yarn held together, cast on 1 stitch. Row 1 K Row 2 Knit in front and back of both stitches. You now have 2 stitches on your needle! Note: Knitting twice into a stitch (once in front and once in back) of a stitch is a way to do an increase. Knit into the front loop of the next stitch on your left-hand needle as you would normally, pull the loop of the new stitch through but don't remove the stitch from the left needle. Then knit into the back loop of the same stitch so you have two stitches. Finally, slide the original stitch off the left needle. Row 3 K Row 4 Knit in front and back of first stitch, knit to last stitch, knit in front and back of last stitch. You now have 4 stitches on your needle!

  • Lots in One Crochet Basket

    Lots in One Crochet Basket

    Lots in one crochet basket This is a multi-purpose basket. With the walls up, it’s a nest for birds that prefer tree hollows, or a flat bottomed pouch for an animal. With the walls folded in half, it’s a nest with sturdy walls for perching. With the handle gaps together, it’s a carry bag, or way to carry the little passenger without having to pick them up from the bottom. What you’ll need: A tape measure Scissors Yarn – 3 balls of either acrylic or wool in 8ply (this size requires just over 100gms of each) A stitch marker (you could use a bobby pin) A crochet hook – size approximately 4.5mm Abbreviations: Sc - single crochet Inc - increase (2 sc into the stitch) Rep - repeat to the end of round St - stitch Note – the stitches of these must be tight to avoid injury to the animals/birds so make sure you have your tension correct. This pattern is written in US terminology – but if you are used to UK terminology the only difference is that you use DC (double crochet) instead of SC (single crochet). Don’t forget to stretch and give those hands a few minutes rest as you go – we don’t want any injuries to you either! Round 1: Create a magic ring. You could also chain four and join the last stitch to the first one with a slip stitch. Round 2: 6sc into magic ring and pull tight on the yarn tail to close the circle. Pop your stitch marker into the first stitch as you start each round of stitches – this marks your beginning so you know when you have completed one full round.
